Hey FicFlakes! Hope you're all still having as much fun as I am! So...no reviews...my soul hurts. I would love to see more on the next chapter if y'all woulnd't mind :) Also, you know, reccomend this story to friends, because what are friends for, but another vessel to spread Fan Fics like a virus? LOL! Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope you are still enjoying! When we last left Mady, she was faced with telling Ben the terrible truth of what could happen to him is they stay together or keeping to herself to deal with it all on her own! Let's see what she chose...
Mady shook her head.
"You know…now I don't even remember." She said, with a smile. She hated lying to Ben, but for now, this was best.
"Well, if it was important I'm sure you will." Ben said.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Mady said.
"Listen, we'll leave you alone for a while so you can get some rest." Axol said, putting a hand on Ben's shoulder.
"Ah, come on. I've been resting enough. I need to get out of this bed." She said, swinging her legs around the side of the exam table. She jumped off the bed and was lightheaded for a moment. Her stance was unsteady and she swayed slightly back and forth. Axol and Ben moved to either side of her and prepared to catch her. She widened her stance and waved them off.
"No! No, I got it." She said. After a few wobbly steps she managed to right herself and she could walk normally.
"See, I'm fine." She said.
"Damn your pride, Mady Conway. You could have hurt yourself." Axol said.
"But I didn't, did I?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. Axol grinned.
"No you didn't." he said.
"No I didn't. Well boys, where are we headed?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Back to Dantooine. We have us a war." Axol said.
"Where did we get an army?" Mady asked.
"We found it on Korriban. It was just laying around." Axol said.
"Mercs." Mady insinuated.
"Exactly." Axol said.
"Well, we should get going then." Mady said, somewhat halfheartedly.
"You don't sound thrilled." Axol noticed.
"Are you? We are about to go out and fight a war. All we've done and all the battles we've fought could end with a blaster bolt that we don't even notice from some random soldier that won't think twice about it." She spilled. There was a long silence.
"Ben, Lakaar. Can I talk to Mady alone for a moment?" Axol asked, never breaking his stare at her. She couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye. It was a rarity that she could. Without a word Ben and Lakaar left the sickbay and they were alone.
"What's wrong, kid?" he asked.
"Nothing…I…nothing." She started.
"Come on, Mady. We're past that now, huh?" Axol asked. Suddenly, Mady felt her blood run cold and her hands started to shake. Her heart pumped loudly and hard and head spun. That same sentence had been uttered by that thing that dared call himself a man. That thing that dared pretend that he knew her well. That…that thing…that had made all the sense in the world when nothing else seemed to. Her icy blood suddenly boiled at the very thought of him. No. No, he was a Sith. Nothing he said was true. But, it was. She hated much. She was scared when he said she was. He knew her well. His words were less idealistic than the Jedi…but they were real. No, thoughts like this are evil. She knew this to be true. But what consequence did they bring? Her skin had not gone pale. Her eyes had not changed to orange. Her lightsaber was as blue as the ocean. There was no punishment where the Jedi Council had told her there would be. Could they be wrong?
"Kid! Kid! Wake up!" Axol's voice echoed and sounded parseks away.
"Wha…ugh…wha…happen?" she managed as she looked up at him from the floor.
"I-I don't know. You were just standing there and I said something to you and you just crumpled. Just like when you had that vision in front of the Council." He said. Her eyes grew sad as she looked at him. He believed in her with all he had and she dared let thoughts like she'd just been having into her head. Tears streaked her cheeks.
"Force. I'm all fracked up, Axol. That son on a bitch messed me up inside. Force, Axol, help me…help me." She sobbed into his chest. He threw his arms around her and held her tight.
"I'm so tired, Axol. I…I don't know how much longer I can last." She said.
"You'll last as long as you have to, kid. Just like always." He said. She bawled and bawled as she lay there and his arms held her tightly as she shuttered in them. She felt as though somehow she was being eaten away by something intangible. Some invisible virus destroyed her now from the inside out. Syano had told her that no one could walk away from Korriban untouched. She was believing that more and more with each passing moment. Fear enveloped her as her tears continued to wet his shirt. They just sat there in the unfeeling sickbay for near a half an hour. When she finally went silent Axol looked down at her to find she had cried herself to sleep. He lifted her gently and carried her back to her bunkroom. She didn't need to wake up with glaring lights in her face again. He set her on the soft bed and covered her with the blanket. He knelt by her and gently touched her hand.
"You'll be fine, kid. You'll make it. You will. You…you have to." He said, resting his head on his arm. After a few moments he stood up and left the room so she could get some rest.
"You think you've gotten away. But, you know you haven't…not really." The voice echoed through the blackness.
"You're wrong…I'm free." Her voice seemed to float without her lips even moving. Her thoughts had skipped the middle-man that was her mouth and joined Syano's in the black abyss.
"And yet you still feel like a prisoner. Even now as you sleep, you fly towards a war that you are too weary to fight…but you will fight it. You will fight because they make you fight." Syano's voice came.
"No…they wouldn't." Mady fought.
"Oh no? Prove me wrong. You also have Ben to think about here. Do you dare fight alongside him, given your rather unfortunate destiny? Say you will not fight and see what happens. They will beg. They will say that they need you. You will stand firm…then they will make you." The voice said.
"N-no. They…they won't. This council isn't like the others." Mady argued.
"Who are you really fighting, Mady? Is it me? Is this voice really mine? Or is it only your own?" the voice asked. The voice ceased to be Syano's and became feminine with the last sentence. It was strangely familiar. Suddenly, a face came slowly from the shadows.
"They'll make you. They will." Said the voice. The face became clear and suddenly Mady couldn't breathe. The face was her own.
"You know it's true." the voice said. Mady's eyes shot wide as she lay in her bunkroom. She could breathe again and rapidly it was. Sweat beaded on her forehead and she felt the back of her neck was drenched. She rolled to her side and curled up, head in her hands.
"No…no…they won't. They won't." she told herself over and over. She sat up in the bed and stood from it.
"They won't." she said, more surely as she stood. Her eyes itched and she rubbed them as she walked to the showers. The water poured over her for the first time in a long time and she just leaned forward on the wall as it did. She closed her eyes for a moment but opened them again as she couldn't get the image out of her head. The face she had seen in the dream had been hers, but not hers at the same time. It was different somehow. Warped. Altered in some strange and dark way. The shower handle squeaked several minutes later as the shower concluded. She walked across the room to grab a towel and she began then to dry her hair. The thing fell to her shoulders as she walked over to the mirror. It was all fogged up. She ran her hand across the thing and sprang away from it. She stumbled to the back of the shower room, but couldn't stop staring at the image. It was just like the dream.
"They will." The thing said.
"NO!" Mady screamed as she charged the thing arm cocked. The glass shattered as she slammed her fist into the face of evil that stared back at her grinning. She just stood there for a moment and stared into the sink and onto the floor at the shards of broken glass. Her hand dripped blood onto the floor and onto more chunks of the destroyed mirror. In one particularly large chunk she saw her reflection again. She held the thing up and saw nothing but her normal reflection.
"What's going on?!" Ben questioned frantically as he burst into the room. His arm shot to his eyes as he covered them. In all truth, Mady had forgotten that she was naked. It was only this reaction by Ben that reminded her.
"Oh Sith spit!" she said scrambling for the towel.
"Spast, Mady. I'm sorry!" he said, bolting back out of the room.
"Where the hell is that towel?!" she thought aloud. The instant that sentence was out she found it and wrapped it around herself. She stood to find that he was gone. She continued with her routine and walked out of the shower room in her undershirt and pants. She turned the corner to find Ben sitting at the table.
"Mady, I am so sorry." He said standing up.
"Don't worry about it, Ben. We live in such close quarters it was bound to happen sooner or later." She said.
"I…well…" Ben started again. Mady just walked past him and opened the storage bin to find something to eat.
"Hey. As long as you weren't horrified, then I'm not too worried about it." She said, nonchalantly. She knew all too well that there were worse things in the world.
"I wasn't." he said.
"Good." She replied. Suddenly, her hand shot back and she held it into her stomach.
"Ah! Spast!" She said, as she found that her hand was still bleeding. She had forgotten all about it. Grabbing a piece of her cured batha jerky reminded her.
"Mady, what happened?" Ben asked.
"I…uh…broke the mirror." She said.
"With your hand?" he asked, taking it and examining the gashes. She looked up at him without a word. He looked back after a few seconds.
"Something's wrong with me." She said.
"You're damn right there's something wrong with you. I think there's still glass in there." Ben said, looking back down. She took his hand with her good one and he looked back into her eyes.
"It's not that." She said, gravely. He felt the seriousness of the statement as he felt her hands begin to tremble. There were a few moments of silence.
"Well, first things first. Let's get you cleaned up." He said leading her back into the shower room.
Master Lokirn put a hand to his head and squeezed his eyes shut tighter.
"What is it, Master?" asked Master Tynark.
"Madylyn Conway. She…she is in terrible pain." Lokirn said, sadly.
"She has been for days, Master." Tynark said.
"No…she is among friends now. The realm of her suffering is not the physical. Something else is wrong. She is…infected. Her mind is in horrible anguish." Lokirn said.
"What must be done, Master?" Tynark asked.
"We must wait and watch. There is nothing left to do. If she does anything out of the ordinary, measures may be taken to keep her from hurting herself or others." Lokirn said.
"Is that wise, Master? She is quite powerful." Tynark said.
"Perhaps so…perhaps not. Either way, it must be done." Lokirn said simply.
"Yes, Master." Tynark agreed.
"All the time. I…I'm scared to close my eyes." She answered, sadly. He sat at the table across from her and wrapped her hand in the bandage.
"You said you hear things, too?" he asked.
"Well, real things become other things. The hum of the hyperdrive starts to sound like voices…sometimes the voices just come out of nowhere." She said, unable to meet his gaze. He tied the bandage as he finished and took her hand. Finally she looked up at him.
"We'll get that Sith trash, Mady. Then all this will stop. He's doing this to you." Ben said, with confidence. Mady managed a small smile and nodded.
"You're right. We'll get him." She said. He smiled and put a hand on her cheek. He stood from the table and kissed her before making his way to the cockpit to help navigate the rest of the journey to Dantooine. She smiled until he was out of the room before the tears fell. She was sure to be quiet for fear that he might hear her. She had not told Ben of the destiny that awaited him should they fight side-by-side. She couldn't bear it.
Deep down, she knew that Syano was not the sole source of this conflict. Her mind had been conflicted before he had captured her. Now everything was just in plain view. She was the cause of this. All the pain she felt was her own fault…and there was nothing she could do about it.
The settled down on Dantooine two days later. Ben thought back to Mady's comment about the close quarters and was that much more amazed at how little he had seen of her over this time. The length of any conversation was about two words and the only time he had seen her was walking from her bunkroom to the shower room or the kitchen. When he did walk back to get her when it was time to see the Council he caught her walking to the loading ramp already.
"Mady." He said.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"We're here." He said.
"Yeah…I know." She replied, distantly.
"Okay, well, Council wants to see you right away." He said.
"Good…I want to see them, too." She said, just as plainly.
"Well good." He said.
"Are you guys ready to go?" she asked, turning around. Ben's eyes filled with pity.
"Aw, Mady." He said.
"What?" she asked, confused.
"Have you slept at all these past two days?" Ben asked, having noticed the dark circles and vague, glazed look in her eyes.
"I…yeah…sure I have." She said. His expression turned to critical. Her eyes shifted to the floor.
"Why not, Mady?" he asked. Her lower lip quivered.
"I…I'm afraid to sleep. I don't want to dream." She said, still avoiding eye contact. Ben found himself hurting inside nearly as much as he was. The reason for the pain was the sheer sense of helplessness. He had no idea how to help her and he knew she was not ready to talk about things yet.
"The Council will be able to help, Mady. You'll get through this." Ben reassured her.
"Yeah…I hope so." She said, managing a small smile. All four of them walked to the Council chambers escorted closely by Knights. Somehow, Mady felt as though she had been away from here for years. Perhaps, she thought, it was because she had never felt more distanced from this place. The great doors opened and they all entered and bowed.
"Rise, Knights." Lokirn said. They obeyed.
"I must say, on behalf of all of us, well done. You have accomplished your mission. Madylyn, we are overjoyed that you have made it here in one piece." Lokirn said.
"As am I, Master." She said, emotionlessly.
"Where is the army that we sent here?" Axol asked.
"They are all being housed behind the enclave. They seem perfectly happy in their tents." Lokirn said.
"What will be the plan of attack?" Lakaar asked.
"Patience, Knight. We will slowly attack Sith controlled systems one by one until all that remains in Korriban. Then we strike with all our power." Lokirn said. Mady wasn't even listening. She was just standing there trying to think of how best to say it. Right now she would prove Syano wrong. It was that moment of truth.
"Madylyn. Are you alright?" Lokirn asked.
"Master?" she asked, trying to buy herself a few more seconds.
"You seem distant. Your thoughts are elsewhere." Lokirn said. There was a long pause and Mady stared at the ground. Finally she looked up at him and the other Masters.
"Master…I cannot fight alongside the Jedi in this battle." She said, solemnly. There were nervous glances exchanged from the Masters and all three of her companions heads snapped over to her.
"Madylyn, why not?" Lokirn said.
"I cannot say, Master." She said, in a quiet voice.
"You must give a reason. Is it that you are weary of this war?" Lokirn asked, sounding more frustrated by the second.
"Perhaps." She lied. She could not tell them the real reason. This was a problem to be faced on her own.
"Madylyn, please. You must reconsider. This battle may be lost without you." Lokrin said, urgently.
"I am sorry, Master." She said, looking away. Axol turned to her.
"What the hell are you doing, kid?" he asked, in a whisper.
"What needs to be done." She said simply, looking up at him with sleepless eyes. Lokirn suddenly stood.
"Knights, take Knight Conway into custody." Lokrin ordered the Knights that watched the door. The walked quickly towards her.
"What?!" Asked Ben, Axol and Lakaar in unison.
"No…you can't!" Mady stuttered, hurt leaking through her words. Without even thinking, Lakaar, Ben and Axol stepped away. The Knights surrounded her and moved closer.
"You must remain here until you have your mind righted." Lokirn said. Mady stared at him with hurt.
"You mean until I agree to fight!" she accused.
"You must fight in this battle, Madylyn. You are essential to our effort. In time you will come to realize this." Lokirn said, staring back at her with emotionless eyes.
"I don't believe this. He was right…he was right." She said more to herself than anyone else.
"Knights, detain her!" Lokirn ordered more sternly.
"NO! Damn you!" she screamed as she lunged at Lokirn. She was grabbed by two of the Knights. Full of rage, she shoved them to the walls on either side of her and leapt at Lokirn once more. Tynark stretched forth his hand before she could reach Lokirn she found herself lifted into the air and slammed to the floor with force that knocked the air from her chest. As she scrambled to her feet it happened again. By that time the other three Knights were right there and the two had regained themselves. They dove on her and held her tightly as she struggled and wrenched around trying furiously to get at the Masters.
"You tyrants! You dogs! You're just as bad as the Sith!!! You're worse! He was right! I'll get you all for this! You hear me?! You treat me like a damn commodity!!! I'll die before I fight for you!!! AHHH! NO!" she screamed as they dragged her from the chambers.
"Master, please! Have mercy. We can fight this battle without her! She just needs time." Ben said.
"She needs more than that, Ben." Lokirn said.
"Does she need that?! Does she need to be dragged out of here like a damn convict?! Locked up like an animal?!" Ben asked stepping forward.
"Ben…she needs help." Lokirn said, softly. With that one step, Ben was close enough to see what he had missed only seconds ago. Lokirn and several of the other Masters had tears welling in their eyes. He stepped back.
"She understands that we need her. She understands that if she is the Grey Warrior the fate of the galaxy could rest with her. She gets the fact that if she falls to the dark side…then we could be hurled into another dark age. In the right state of mind she would fight with us. But I sense that this goes deeper." Lokirn said.
"She has mentioned hallucinations to me, Master. She seems to be afraid all the time." Ben suggested.
"Yes, I sensed that as well. Korriban has had a profound effect on her as it has had on so many. Syano has as well. She is traumatized…and right now she is extremely emotionally unstable." Lokirn said.
"What do we do?" Axol asked.
"We wait. We offer what guidance we can. The Council will use all our energies to keep dark forces away from this place. Ben, perhaps you could go to the detention area and offer her support. Just let her know you're there for her. That should help matters some. At the very least it may calm her down." Lokirn said.
"Yes, Master." Ben said leaving the room. He was only too happy to have received this order. The instant he was gone, Lokirn turned to Axol.
"You must keep an eye on him, Axol." Lokirn said.
"Why him, Master?" Lokirn said.
"He cares for her very much. He is also very willful, just as she is. If he pities her too much, it could be a dangerous proposition." Lokirn said. As much as Axol hated to believe that love could be dangerous, this was a prime example of that being true.
"I will, Master." He replied.
"There is something else you should know." Lokirn said, seriously.
"What?" Axol asked.
"We have sensed that Syano has told her something of her future that we can't quite make out. The only thing we do know, is that she believes it." Lokirn said.
"Well, what was it?" Lakaar asked, speaking up.
"She believes that her fate and Ben's are connected. Syano has told her that her actions could have a profound effect on him. What effect and whether or not this is true is unknown to us." Lokirn said.
"How is it unknown? Isn't your power as great as Syano's?" Axol asked.
"It is…but it's different. The Sith can sense suffering across time and space. They thrive on it. If there is pain in Madylyn's future, he would be able to know about it better than we could." Lokirn explained.
"I see." Said Axol.
"Master Vu will guide you to your quarters. They will be yours for the length of your stay, whatever that may be." Lokirn said. Master Vu stepped forward.
"Thank you, Master." Axol said as he and Lakaar bowed.
"And Axol…" Lokirn started.
"Sir?" he replied.
"We all care for her very much. We will do what's best." Lokirn said.
"Yes, Master." Axol said. And with that they followed Master Vu out of the room and to their quarters.
Ben walked past the guards, who looked slightly worse for the wear, into the aged detention facility, to find Mady sitting in a cell up against the bars. As he approached, she didn't even turn around.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I've been better." She said, angrily. Ben leaned against the bars himself and slid down them to the ground. There was a long pause as the two just sat there. Finally, as was the norm, Ben broke the silence.
"Why won't you fight?" Ben asked.
"I…I just can't." she said.
"Are you scared? Is that it?" Ben asked. Her head snapped over to him.
"Never." She said, full of conviction. He sighed.
"Mady Conway, I wish I understood you." He said, sadly.
"So do I." She said, smiling slightly over her shoulder. He looked over at her and cracked a small grin himself.
"I don't know what I can do for you anymore, Mady." He said. She said nothing.
"I mean…I can tell you until I'm blue in the face that I am here for you, but that doesn't seem to be enough anymore." He said.
"Do you think what the Masters did here was right?" Mady said.
"Mady, it doesn't matter what I—" Ben was cut off.
"Do you think they were right?!" Mady pressed. Ben looked over at her.
"Mady…anyone would need help after what you've been through." He said.
"Do you think I'm crazy?" she asked.
"You've been seeing things…hearing things. Mady, they can make that go away." Ben reasoned.
"If I had nothing to offer them in the battle, would they still want to help me?" she asked. Ben looked away.
"I like to think they would." He said. Mady sighed.
"They're going to make me fight…just like he said." She said.
"Who said?" Ben asked. Mady thought for a moment. Come to think of it, she didn't really know. The words had come to her in a dream and it was then that she decided that it could have been her own thoughts seeping through.
"I-I don't know." She said, helplessly.
"Was it Syano?" he asked.
"Maybe…I'm not sure." She said.
"Is that the only reason you said you wouldn't fight?" Ben asked.
"No." Mady said, softly.
"Well, what was the other?" he asked.
"I…I can't…" she said. Ben stood.
"Damn it all, Mad! I know why I don't get you now! You don't want to be gotten! I love you with everything I have and you still won't let me in!" Ben said, raising his voice. She said nothing.
"MADY, TALK TO ME!!! For Force's sake…say something!" he urged. Suddenly, she stood and glared at him through the bars.
"What do you want me to say?! When I have a problem, I deal with it on my own!!! I don't want to be a burden and I won't be a danger to people I love." She said, loudly.
"Mady, I don't give a shit if you are a danger! I can take care of myself and so can Axol and Lakaar! You need to get that through your head!" he said. She stepped back from the bars. What he had just said had hit her core…and he was right. Even she didn't know why she could not just let the three of them take care of themselves. She knew each of them was more than capable. There was a long pause.
"I…I've never cared about anyone the way I care about you. I know you can fend for yourself…I know. I just…I just think about…about something happening to you…and I can't breathe. I can't think. I can't move. I'm sorry for being like that. I don't want to be." She said sadly. He ran his fingers through his hair.
"Will you try?" he asked.
"Will you leave if I don't?" she asked. He paused.
"Why won't you fight with us?" he asked. Her eyes filled with tears as she remained silent. He shook his head.
"We're done here." He said coldly as he began to walk away.
"Ben, wait! Please!" she begged. He continued to walk.
"It's because of you!" she yelled after him though he was no longer in sight. She fell to her knees crying. A few seconds later he reappeared.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Syano said that if I fight beside you, you'll pay for it. If anything happened to you Ben…I'd never forgive myself." She said desperately, not looking at him.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" he asked.
"I didn't want you to blame yourself for any of this. You don't deserve that." She said, quietly.
"Mady, more harm will be done if you don't fight. You must realize it." He said, crouching to face her.
"I don't know what to believe." She said. He touched her hand as it gripped a bar.
"Believe me. A long time ago I decided to trust you and you trusted me back. Remember how that felt. Feel it again." He urged. She looked up at him still unsure.
"You need sleep and I have to talk to the Masters. Rest now. I'll be back soon alright?" he said.
"Alright." She said. He stood and walked once more out of the cell. A few hours went by and she heard the sound that made her blood chill.
"More harm? Not so sure about that." Said a voice that sounded as though it was right behind her. She whirled around to see no one. She held her head in her hands.
"No. Not here." She begged.
"Sure, I guess the Republic will benefit, but what about Junior?" suggested the voice. She turned once more as she stood, but again was met with only the dingy walls of the cell.
"Shut up." She said, angrily.
"Come on. You can't stay here any longer. You need to get as far from him as possible." The voice said.
"Leave me alone!" she screamed.
"Get out." The voice said.
"I can't." she said, helplessly.
"Why?" the voice asked, innocently.
"I'm locked up." She said.
"Oh, Mady. Haven't you learned that all things are possible in the Force? Why you might say it's as simple as…" the voice said. Suddenly, the cell door clicked open.
"…walking out." The voice finished. She stood and considered this for a moment. Somehow, even after what Ben had said, she couldn't deny the fact that she would hurt him. She didn't care about the Republic…at least not like she did him. She looked at the door and made her choice.
The guards fell silently to the floor as they felt the energy she forced on them. She bent down quickly and took her lightsaber from one of their belts and swiftly made her way through the corridors. The hangar was easy enough to find and she made her way quickly to a ship. Suddenly, she was stopped short by the sound of a lightsaber.
"What are you doing, kid?" Axol asked as he emerged from the shadows, saber poised.
"I have to leave." She said simply.
"You can't…not yet." Axol said, concern in his voice.
"Just let me go, Axol. You don't understand." She said.
"Ben told me everything." Axol said.
"Then you know why I have to leave." She said, hoping for some understanding from him.
"I know why you think you have to leave…but I also know that you're wrong." He said.
"Am I? I could get Ben killed. I won't let that happen. If that means I don't fight at his side ever again then so be it!" she said.
"Mady, you said it yourself…you're all fracked up inside. You need help the Masters want to give you that." Axol pleaded.
"By throwing me in a cell like a criminal?! By 'using all their power to keep the darkness away'? I don't need their brand of help!" Mady said.
"Yes you do." Axol said, calmly.
"Stand aside, Axol." She said, coldly.
"Mady, you can't leave. I care too much about you to let you live the rest of your life like this." Axol said, sadly.
"I don't want to fight you. But, if you make me…I will." She said, lightsaber igniting.
"You'll have to do more than that to get out of here." He said, gravely. Her eyes widened and she shuttered slightly at the prospect of what he was suggesting. She stood firm in her fighting stance, but found herself unable to move. Could she go through with this? Attacking one of her best companions? It had to be done. Ben had to be protected…but t what cost? No…no she had to leave. The two Jedi were statues in the gigantic hangar as Mady's damaged mind tried to pick between two of the greatest friends she had ever known.
So all, what to do? It looks like we have an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Does she have the strength to go through with fighting Axol? Does she have the strength to back down? If she fights, will she win? What length is Axol willing to reach to stop her? It's all up to you Fic Fans...don't screw it up!
